3dmm Survivor - Episode 1
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: May 2001
After seeing Greg Niecestro's "Surviving Pokegay", Matt McGowan had the idea of a "3dmm Survivor" - a movie based around the same principles as the (what was) ever increasingly popular "survivor" craze. So here is the first episode out of a planned total of 13. Only 6 were ever released. The series includes various members of the community, all of whom stuck on an island and divided into two teams (close resemblance to 'Temptation Island'). The first episode is basically introduces the starring characters and explains how the series is going to work. The animation is ok, but scenery is somewhat lacking in places. Overall, a good start the series.

3dmm Survivor - Episode 2
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: April 2001
The second episode is funnier than the first. Goat's tribe attempts to get Ruiz back to his "normal" self, while Tony lays about doing nothing. Quite funny and makes for an excellent episode 1 follow-up.

3dmm Survivor - Episode 4
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: June 2001
This is the point where I think that the series started to go downhill. The fourth episode is lacking even more so that usual in the visual department relying a lot more on humor. There's a hilarious scene between Andres and Jeff, but other than that, I didn't enjoy it as much as the others.

3dmm Survivor - Episode 5
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: June 2001
It's sad.... The 3dmm Survivor series started off well, they were amusing and fun to watch. But, just as the TV series did, the movies have gone down hill, and become, essentially, a flop. Well, I thought Matt may get things together for episode 5, but it's still not good. Matt had been listening to the community though, and improved on the scenery, but at a loss.The plot and general direction of the movie has become 'lost', making the movie feel almost clumsy and stupid. Most of the movie just involves the tribal members shouting mindlessly, REALLY LOUD, which just becomes really annoying, making it almost unmatchable. As usual, there was the immunity challenge, but I had no idea what was going on.... simply more yelling. Oh, and someone got voted off the island... don't know who, simply because I don't know who is who any more. Hopefully the dialogue in episode 6 will be improved (i.e. no shouting!). If you download this movie, before watching it, make sure you turn your volume setting to -20db and wear some stiff ear plugs, because your ears are gonna hurt afterwards... lots.

3dmm Survivor - Episode 6
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: October 2001
Unfortunately, it gets even worse. This is the worst and last episode in the series. There was rumor of episode 7, but it never appeared. The scenery is no better (even though Sapone and Pikios apparently did it), the jokes are boring and to be honest, how is this different from any other episode? I don't know... perhaps I've just got bored with the series. Oh, and Matt was still screaming into the microphone which ruined it further. I found it hard to watch the whole movie... Hmm.

Alone
Directed by: Matt Allen Released: May 2005
Either the director of this movie has some serious emotional issues or is just a fantastic animator of capturing a serious depressive theme. Whichever it doesn't matter, the point is, this movie is very sad, and quite twisted in a way. It was generally very harrowing and is based on a suicidal theme which can be either very cheap or very touching. Although the scenery and general look of the film is at best average, the music fits in perfectly and is a good choice for a quick and tearful film. Review by Richard Bevis.

Andres the Fortune Teller
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: January 2001
A fairly pointless short by Matt McGowan, Andres the Fortune Teller features what one can only assume to be Andres de la Hoz as some sort of mystic inviting us to come to a reading. There's not much more story than that. The movie contains some moving cameras, but nothing to get excited about. The visuals are there, but not the star of the show. However, there is no other star of this show. The dialogue features the worst Andres imitation yet, and that's about it. McGowan appears to have created this as a hate/experimentation movie, and there's not much there to warrent a download. Review by Andrew Salter.

Assassin, The
Directed by: Matt Allen Released: April 2005
A very newbie-ish movie here, full of stolen music, bad scenery and animation, a thin plot, and overall retardation. There wasn't a single original idea in this movie, and the execution was very poor. Don't download this movie. Review by Tom Bown.

Child Killer the Movie
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: January 2000
The feature length Child Killer is here, with a different character as the Child Killer once again. The movie tells the story of how the killer became the 'Child killer' and how he got his reputation. The voices sounded mostly the same, the scenery was pretty good. This movie is more of a drama then a PAM or a comedy, though it does have plenty of action and a good bit of comedy. Matt has made a good effort at the Child Killer Movie. Well done.

Godzilla 98: Platinum Edition
Directed by: Gorosaurus, Matt Burkett Released: April 2002
Goro has always been one of my fav hand-made character designers, or as I found out today, CARTOON hand-made character designers. Don't get me wrong, this was a pretty good movie, and the hand-made models were quite well done, but they were cartoony, and hence just didn't suit the supposed 'serious' atmosphere. I think Goro realized this as well, and added small comedic bits to lighten it up. This is another one of those movies that starts off really great, with you going "Sweetsweetsweet, this is gonna be good!!" but then gets disappointing. But the battle between Godzilla and Whatsisname at the end made it worthwhile enough. Indoor scenery consisted mostly of the old lay-down-polygons-on-top-of-existing-stock-scenes trick, so that was kinda corny... Outdoor scenes (city) were, of course, hand made and simple. But simple is a practical must when using so much camera movement. Ditto with the animation of the handmade characters - those are a LOT of polygons to animate, and you cant really expect flawlessly smooth camera movement with so many. Music was okayish, but the SOUND... oh god the sound was pretty pitiful. If they weren't using stock sounds, they were using waaay too many well known ones. But fortunately that didn't detract too much. Plus, you have to recognize all the work that went into it. Quite download worthy.

Homeland 3
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: July 2001
With the previous Homeland movies in the Homeland series being well below par, I wasn't expecting much from the third installment. However, after hearing that the movie was directed by Matt McGowan, maybe, just maybe, the movie may be something a bit more special. And by'gum it is better... The story takes place before the other two Homelands and is streets ahead in terms of character development. The scenery ain't bad, but is more than adequate. The music was also well selected, and suited the movies style. A pretty decent movie, which is worth the download if your looking for something new.

Long Night, The
Directed by: Jon Sapone, Matt McGowen Released: August 2000
Jon and Matt have teamed up to make this effective longer than average movie. Mickazee and Maltby are the stars in this surreal piece. Although they couldn't decide whether Maltby's voice was either Cockney Brit, normal Brit, or American, the movie works well and probably has the best deaths in any movie I've seen. Well worth watching. Review by Will Cheyney.

Matt's Animations

A bunch of little animation's/stills that Matt has done in 3DMM such as a truck, Super Mario and a chicken. It all looks quite good however had the animation's been longer it would have been better.

Well, The
Directed by: Matt Friend Released: August 2001
I really didn't know what to expect from this movie when it appeared in my inbox. I had hardly heard of the director, and the email was somewhat 'messy'. But from scene 1, I knew that it was something more than your plain old, run of the mill movie. The music accompanying the movie fitted perfectly, and was instantly recognisable (Ice Dance, from Edward Scissor Hands). The countryside scenery was lush, with clouds hugging the ground, and the main houses interior and props were amazingly detailed. There were also a few neat lighting effects. The movies plot is perhaps a little weak and I think the ending was cut a little too short. Other than that, a great movie! A recommended download.

X-Men
Directed by: Matt McGowan Released: December 2000
It's the 3dmm movie based on the Hollywood movie based on the comic book series. Wowee. And when I saw the preview, I thought that this was going to be something special. Sadly, this is a classic example of a movie not living up to the preview. I could tell from the opening schoolroom scene set in 1947 with the 1990's song 'Gangsta's Paradise' playing. I mean, come on, it was just inappropriate. And when the teacher sees Magneto use his powers, all she does is throw him out of the classroom... AS IF. Now the whole movie is in widescreen for the entire movie which is annoying and there's no plot to really speak of, Senator Kelly launches a bill that makes it compulsory for Mutants to register (sound familiar?) and the X-Men go to attack his headquarters. This weak plot is compounded by the poor characterisation and cardboard-style script so much so that at the end where someone is in danger for his life, you just don't care. Some effects look quite good but overall, this movie is very disappointing. At least he assures us there won't be a sequel.
